Small Lecture on Block-Structured Integer Programs

Activity: Talk or presentation typesContributed talkScientific

Description

Integer Programs (IPs) are an ubiquitous and potent modeling tool, but in general also NP-hard to solve. Thus, special cases are studied that are solvable in polynomial time. One important case is that of block-structured IPs. The simplest class of such IPs have a constraint matrix consisting of independent sub-matrices that are linked by either few variables (2-stage stochastic IPs) or few constraints (n-fold IPs) This talk gives an overview on the results of these IPs (including our brand-new SODA results) and outlines the most important techniques to achieve them.
